Beery Bad

Here’s a first. A product review.

Several weeks ago I was at a Raymond’s store picking up a suit I had given for altering. On one of the display sections, a number of beer bottles caught my eye. Looking closer, they read “Beer Shampoo”. Hmmm.!

Now I’ve heard that beer’s really good for the hair, softens it and all that. I never really bothered, because apart from never wanting my hair to feel that I’m getting in its hair [pun], I always believed in two things:

• going by my family history, I’ve come to terms with ‘hair today, gone tomorrow’, and
• it’s a crime to pour beer anywhere else except into the belly

Anyway, the bottle looked really interesting, and it claimed ‘Made from real beer’, so I decided to buy one. On glancing at the shelf of bottles, first thing I noticed was that the quantity in each bottle was unequal. That isn’t very cool, especially coming from Park Avenue. So, I picked out the one which had the most beer shampoo in it. Obviously.

Used it, and. It smells like beer for sure, but the ‘wow’ ended with looking at the bottle from afar, and the smell of beer. The lid looked cheap and flimsy. The shampoo was nothing great, hair didn’t feel any different either. And [hic] it doesn’t even give you a high.

[1.5/5] And that too just for the look of the bottle and the smell of beer 😉
